Happy holidays, dudes and dudettes! Hope you got everything you wished for and downed copious amounts of egg nog.

Here’s the breakdown of the week’s concert highlights with some video accompaniment… READ MORE
While I was in Golden Gate Park on Sunday watching Grateful Dead tribute band, Dark Star Orchestra, the boys in Furthur were laying a hurt on the fans in Denver with a three-night run at Red Rocks with a few bust-outs and a Chris Robinson sit-in on night one. Check out the setlists over at Oh Kee Pah Blog, and watch this video to see Joe Russo absolutely slay the drum breakdown in “Help on the Way.” Sickness.

The lineup for Jam Cruise 8 was announced earlier this week, and it’s really quite impressive as always.
Departing Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Jam Cruise 8 will set sail January 3-8, 2010 on board the beautiful MSC Poesia and will visit the tropical ports of Ocho Rios, Jamaica and George Town, Cayman Islands. With 5 days and nights aboard the ship, there is plenty of time to kick back with friends and see an unbelievable amount of music.
Who’s going?
Saturday was going to be a long day. We planned on getting to the mountain in time to see Sharon Jones, whose set began at 2:15 p.m., with plans to stay and see Dark Star Orchestra, whose set was scheduled to run until 4 a.m.
After blowing me away at Langerado 2007, I knew that Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings were going to get the early-afternoon crowd on their feet, and I wasn’t wrong.
I prefer to call their 60′s R&B sound classic rather than retro. Retro implies a lack of authenticity and if there is anything that Sharon Jones is, it is authentic.
